et that you stressed their Subanon on offense and
inability to stop a fast break was exactly the stressing that I had
been making. Your letter has helped very much. We have been work-
ing for two weeks on Gerald Tucker, but this morning we received
word that he had been declared ineligible. I em sending you a clipping
him, and I am alse sending you a marked copy off the Big Six
eligibility rules which show that he violated both the migrant rule
and the resident rules

enough to even think of using him this first senester. And the fact
that he was a migrant and no correspondence was indulged in between
Oklahoma and Kansas State put the migrant curse on him in such a way
that it would be nothing short of generosity if they ever let hin
compete at Oklahoma. It was a steal engineered by someone and I do
not believe that the boy was as guilty as some of the staff
at Oklahoma. Or, if it is not the coaching ataff, then it was some-
ene that worked hand in glove with the coaching staff. Anyhow, we
will not have to worry about Tucker this first game, so we will
spend our time on Mr. Richard Reich.

We have been working pretty good until last night. We had a
terrible practice last night - the worst we have ever had. Maybe
it is necessary to have those once in a while so that we can
oriticize and find fault with same of the things that the boys have
not been doing. We will look petty good in some games and then we

lack of ability of the players to see one lay ahead of themselves.

Anyhow, ion: wes*t held you eo that $10.00 hat. Rather, we be-
lieve that we are obligated to you and should buy you a hat for all
the kindnesses that you have shown UB.
